KNOW YOUR BEARlNGS be a better engineer WHEN you receive your diploma and enter upon your career as a mechanical engineer you will find a sound knowledge of bearing design and application one of your most valuable assets. Wherever wheels and shafts turn, every piece of mechanical equipment has its own bearing requirements. It will be part of your job to analyze these requirements and prescribe bearings to meet them. It is particularly important that you have a thorough understanding of the design and advantages of the tapered roller bearing on account of its versatility and wide range of application. This bearing has been developed to an extremely high degree of efficiency by The Timken Roller Bearing Company during the past 42 years, with the result that more TIMKEN Tapered Roller Bearings are now used in all kinds of industrial machinery than any other bearings. Write for a copy of the 184 page Timken Reference Manual a complete text book of tapered roller bearing design and application. TIMKEN TAPERED ROLLER BEARINGS Manufacturers of TIMKEN Tapered Roller Bearings for automobiles, motor trucks, railroad cars and locomotives and all kinds of industrial machinery; TIMKEN Alloy Steels and Carbon and Alloy Seamless Tubing; and TIMKEN Rock Bits.

BECAUSE wherever wheels or shafts turn in modern machinery, anti-friction bearings do these 10 things: 6. Resist loads from all directions. 1. Reduce friction 7. Permit high speed operation 2. Reduce wear 8. Simplify design 3. Prolong- life of machinery.. 4. Increase accuracy 5. Reduce maintenance 9. Allow accurate inter-changeability. 10. Give assured performance... These are the reasons for using antifriction bearings... for using ball bearings... for using New Departure ball bearings. New Departure, a Division of General Motors, Bristol, Connecticut, U. S.
